Glacier and Mount Revelstoke National Parks are bisected by a major national commercial highway (Hwy #1). Vehicle collisions with wildlife are a major stressor and have serious social, economic, and ecological impacts. Animals crossing highways are at risk of mortality and people traveling in...

In an effort to assess the current state of wildland fire as an ecological process, the Area Burned Condition Class (ABCC) measure is designed to reflect modern-day deviations from historical wildland fire cycles (i.e., frequency). The ABCC was developed as a medium to long term ecological...

Benthic macro-invertebrate diversity, stream hydrology, water chemistry, climate, geology, and landcover are collected at randomly selected sites using a standard protocol for the assessment of stream condition and are being monitored both at reference and impacted sites. The overall scope or aim...

The main objective of the measure is to monitor how Invasive Alien Plant percent cover, a recognized stressor to native biodiversity, currently compares to pre-determined thresholds and how it is changing over time across the three different Invasive Plant Management Zones (Integrated Control,...

Whitebark pine blister rust (Cronartium ribicola) is an introduced pathogen affecting whitebark pine (Pinus albicaulis) and limber pine (Pinus flexilis). Whitebark pine is an endangered species protected under the Federal Species at Risk Act (SARA) and Limber pine is designated as an endangered...

The park monitors the population trends of Sage Grouse at leks within the park and on adjacent lands in the greater ecosystem. The actual measure is the sum of the maximum number of males attending each studied lek in a given year.

The Grasslands National Park monitors the area of occurrence of the Black-Tailed Prairie Dog through measuring surface area in hectares of active colonies. Monitoring provides data on the expansion or contraction of black-tailed prairie dog colonies in the park. Active colony areas outside of the...

The Grasslands National Park uses the Area Burned Condition Class (ABCC) method to evaluate the ecological integrity of fire as a process on the landscape and the success of utilizing fire to maintain a mosaic of vegetative composition and structure for healthier populations of native species.

The Grasslands National Park measures the abundance of Chestnut-collared Longspur as a part of overall grassland bird point count surveys.
